THE LADY'S TRICYCLE..

Mr.. Rowland, in The Scientific American,
claims that the tricycle. is mechanically
adapted to afford the best possible exercise at
the smallest expense of fatigue and nervous
energy. The wb-le body is thoroughly exer-
Cised, and yet SO perfectly adapted to human
needs is this exercise that the fatigue of O
ten mile ride is less than is experienced in
walking one-tenth of the distance. The
practicability of the tricycle. as vehicle for
tue daily use of women is, in Mr.. Howland's
opinion, undoubted. He says: "There is
scarcely large town in the land where there
are not some ladies who use the tricycle. as
others do their horse and carriage. 1t is always
ready at the door for an errand to the market,
q call on friend, spin for pleasure or O
Journey to the next town"
The original cost of tricycle. is about the
same as that of a very ordinary horse, but
once bought, the expense attending its opera
ton is almost nothing. The use of tandem
tlicycles is rapidly increasing in this country.
The special advantage of the tandem is that
it affords conveyance for two persons, and
allows use of the strength of both in pro-
pelling the machine.

In the Lady's Parlor.
The carpet beetle, often though improperly
called "buffalo carpet MOTH" is an enemy
greatly feared by all housewives. The small
size, fearful destructiveness and its power to
resist usual insecticides make it terrible pest.
Experience has proven that it first attacks
carpets, and there is where we may look for an
assault. Like the common carpet moth il
works first at the corners Of the carpet. Pro-
fessor Cook, of Michigan, who has investi-
gated the subject of these pests most thor
oughly, recommends the following remedies
First, iron wet cloths placed over the af-
fected part of the carpet, using fiat irons that
are very hot. The cloths may be two or
more thicknesses of common toweling; wiring
out the water and then iron dry. The heated
steam penetrating every fiber of the carpet and
crevice of the floor, destroys the larvae. To
be successful the work must be thorough; q
full head of steam is needed.
Another remedy is to brush the floor under
meath the carpet with strong solution Of cor
rosive sublimate, the bi-chloride Of mercury.
This should be made as follows: Four parts
(by weight bi-chloride of mercury, one of
chloride Of ammonia (sal ammoniac) and fifty
parts Of water. This is surely fatal to bed
bugs, and carpet beetles can hardly be pos
sessed of more lives than are the bed bugs.
The objection to this remedy is the virulency
of the poison. Of course with care there is no
danger.
Naphthaline. the crystals of naphtha, kero-
sene oil or gasoline would each and all kill the
insects If freely used under the carpets. There
are two objections to their use They are all
more or less offensive as to odor, while the
last two, from their infammable nature,
might do great harm in careless hands. In case
furniture is infested, the free use of gasoline
would be the safest and surest remedy. In
this case the articles to be treated could be re-
moved to an outbuilding, and should not be
returned to the house till the liquid had thor
oughly evaporated. Wooden garments not in
use may be protected by putting them in per-
fectly close boxes. Those lined with tarred
paper are excellent for the purpose

Demarest recommends the dress shown in
the accompanying cut, which is Of princess
shape, as desirable model, and makes the
following suggestions in regard to it: at is
almost tight fitting, with the fullness in the
back contributed by plaits laid in the back
and side form seams. The front is double
breasted and embellished by plaits so laid as
to impart vest effect (see front view. The
back view gives good idea of the manner
in which the plaits in the skirt are turned.
The model is neither too dressy for mex.
pensive goods nor too simple for rich ones;
it is the garniture that will impart the re.
quired degree Of dressiness or simplicity. II
will look well made in cambria or gingham
or Chambery, with only a plain row of EN-.
broidery down the edge, or even a bias band
of either figured or solid colored goods,
whichever is in contrast with the dress itself:
and the vest facing can match the trimming.
Cashmere OF surah or pongee or summer silk
could be used for it, and trimmed with black
or cream lace, according to the goods, and
satin or faille ribbon could be employed for
the bow, and a piece of the same ribbon or
facing the middle of the front; and it might
even be used for q tea gown, of plush or bro.
caded silk garnished with satin ribbon and

Smallpox and Cowpox.

The generally accepted theory that small
pox in man and cowpox are one and the same
disease is disputed by George Fleming, LII. D.,
a veterinary surgeon of the British army.
One of the best authorities quoted in support
of the theory was the late Mr.. Ceely, who
reported that he had succeeded in producing
cowpox by inoculating cow with smallpox
matter. DR.. Fleming believes that DR.. Ceely
was mSled in this experiment, and that what
he really used was vaccine. and not the virus
of smallpox. His experiment was subse-
quently repeated on twelve heifers by Dr.
Klein under DR.. Ceely'S supervision, and,
though smallpox matter was inserted abun-
dainty into the missions, cowpox was not de-
veloped i'll any of the animals. Similar ex-
peIiments have been performed in France
and Italy, and the results have all been the
same as those i'll England. DR.. Fleming hollis
that all these experiments go to show that
two diseases are not Identical, nor can cowpox
bo produced by incubation with smallpox

An Erroneous Assumption.

A member of the London Astronomical
society has pointed out that the common
assumption that a fragment of meteor
dust no larger than mustard seed may
give the brilliancy of first magnitude
star is erroneous. To give that brightness
at a distance of 100 miles, about that at
which meteors are usually seen, would
require an electric lamp of 10000 candle
power. 1t is therefore probable that the
smallest visible meteors have surface
equal to the incandescent portion of 100
candle power electric arc, if not much
greater .-Boston Budget.
